I like snacks, but then again, who doesn't?? I'm a fan of the crunchy munchies like chips, crackers and the like. Of course I realize they are no good at all for a person. Between the high bad-for-you fats, and all the sodium, I should be doing crunches while munching!! What is a Niblet to do??
So, off to the kitchen I go to make something tasty, crunchy and way better for you than bagged chippies and high fat dip. (And you can brag when you serve your friends and they'll look at you like you're lying. But we'll know the truth :)
Chips:
4-5 medium sized red potatoes (peel or don't, I don't)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (Cause it's good for you :)
Sea Salt
If you have a mandolin for slicing vegetables, this is the time to break it out. If not, slice them medium thin (less than 1/4") with a knife. Toss them in a bowl with a tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle a little salt on them and mix them until everything is coated. (You can omit the salt if you want, it doesn't need to be on there)
Line a baking sheet with tin foil and give a spray of cooking spray on it. Lay the chips out so they're not touching and toss into a 400F oven for 6-8 minutes, depending on your oven. Take them out and carefully flip each one over and place back in the oven for another 6 or so minutes. Watch them so they get almost golden to golden, but don't let them burn.
Take them out and let them cool on the pan. They're good warm or cooled off. Now go brag to your friends!!
Dip:
Super simple dip, but tastes like it came from a restaurant
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonaise
1/2 tsp garlic, jarred & minced(or more if you like garlic)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Mix all together and refrigerate until needed. Serve with the chips and look like a domestic god/goddess
